SJC mission: Assess policies and practices of the Town of Leverett and recommend changes to address historic and systemic oppression and inequity.
- Town Government subcommittee had many internal ideas about ways to improve equity in town government, but we were wary of assuming we knew everything
- Wanted to understand experiences of as many townspeople as possible
- Developed survey, tried to balance questions to hear about good experiences and ideas for improvement as much as bad experiences and critiques
